CENTENNIAL CONCERT AT ABBOTProgram of Chamber Music Given by Members of Music

Faculty and Out-of-Town Artists — Successfully Re­peat Program Given in Jordan Hall, Boston

A very beautiful concert of chamber music was given at Abbot Academy on Tuesday night before a large audience. The concert was the first in the Centennial Scries to be given this year. The artists were: Kate Frisian, pianist; Marie Nichols, violinist, Jacobus Langendoen, violoncellist, and Willem Valkenier, horn player.

The program consisted of Trios by Schu bert, James Friskin, and Brahms.

The playing of the artists in ensemble was superb. Not only was their group playing effectively achieved, their conception of the music was carefully thought out. These players presented the works of the composers of their choice, bringing the music into strong relief, holding themselves in the background as interpreters. The pianoforte, though playing a most important part throughout the concert, was always held in reserve. The French Horn melted into the ensemble, in the Brahms Trio, casting a golden sheen over the whole. Never was one conscious of it except as an instrument in ensemble.

The music of the Horn Trio was glorious. It is music conceived for the horn. Even the violin passages sound the idiom of the hom, and the pianoforte furnishes a background into which the horn appears a t its best. And yet it is not a solo piece for horn, it is a beautiful trio in which the hom is only a part.

James Friskin’s Phantasie is very grateful music. At the outset, the beautiful violon­cello phrases sound a mood which is main­tained throughout. The contrasting sections and episodes are so constructed that they heighten the significance of the romantic and somewhat moody opening. The music is sensitively felt for the instruments.

The program:Trio in B flat Major Opu* 99 Schubert

Piano, violin, violoncello Allegro moderato Andante un poco mono Schcrao-Allegro-Trio Rondo-Allegro vivace

1‘hantafle in E minor James FriskinPiano, violin, and violoncello

Trio in E flat Major, Opus 40 BrahmsPlano, violin and horn

NEW SKATING RINKM eadow off M orton S treet Will Be

Flooded for W inter S port—No Skat Ing on R ab b it’s

Through the generosity of Phillips Acad cmy cooperating with the Board of Public Works, the children of Andover will have a safe place to skate this winter on the meadow just off Morton street, near the comer of Chestnut, which has recently been flooded.

The acquisition of valuable ducks and swans a t R abbit’s pond has made it necessary to fence in the property, closing to the young people of Andover a pond long used for skating. The removal of large quantities of loam for grading purposes at Phillips academy made feasible the flooding of the area by Roger’s brook. A small dam has been built and already more than an acre of land is under water.

RELIGIOUS DRAMA AT FREE CHURCHVerne Jay Players Assisted by Local Talent Present “When

“TheBoy Scouta Ready To Prcaent Jo lly B uceaneera” Friday

The Boy Scouts of Troops 6, 7 and 8 of St. Augustine’s parish are practically ready for the presentation of their musical oddity, “ The Jolly Buccaneers” which will be given in the town hall. Those who have seen the boys a t their rehearsals marvel the ease with which they execute the many difficult and intricate dancing movements under the direction of James Flannery director.

As the title denotes, the theme of this musical melange revolves around the return of the Jolly Rover, a pirate sloop and boi­sterous crew, to their hidden cove after a successful cruise over the Spanish main. In keeping with the atmosphere of the theme a very realistic setting has been painted. I t is a high rocky cave, from the entrance of which may lie seen the blue placid waves of this hidden cove and the urate sloop a t anchor. Mr. Flannery is «ing assisted by Fred T. Cronin who is in charge of the music.

One of the specialty numbers which should draw much attention and make a big hit is “ The Comedy Four.” One of the four will be Frank Davis. Mr. Davis has already made a name for himself as an actor, haying taken part in several of the presentations of St. Augustine’s dramatic club.

Anna Rita Burke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Burke of North Main street will appear in a dancing specialty.

I t was voted unanimously before the gathering rose from the tables to send greetings to Mrs. Matthew S. Mc­Curdy.

A four-act religious drama, “ The Glow Unseen ”, was presented Wednesday eveningIL . U__ .1_____L t _ . 1 - i r ____ w ain the Free church by the Verne Jay players ably assisted by local talent. The large audience present attested to the interest taken in this effective method of presentingreligious truths.

One of the important figures in the play is the Old Man, the idol of the m any poor people whom he has befriended, a maker of wooden crosses and the caretaker of the church which is the scene of the play.Though now strong in his religious faith and the doer of many good works, he had many years before a t the time he lost his wife, an interval of skepticism. Duringthis period, he had the misfortune to destroy the faith of a young man with whom he was associated, who in a fit of anger hurled a table a t him as he was ascending the stairs. The object of his wrath was not in­jured, but his little daughter, whom he was carrying in his arms, was crippled for life. Now on the verge of womanhood, although dependent on crutches, her sweet nature wins the devotion of Buddy, a protege of her father’s. Although quite content and happy in his new life, Buddy is sorely tempted to return to the questionable ways of obtaining money, especially when he is approached by Edgar Maston who is de­serving of a jail sentence, even though the son of a pillar of the church. Mr. Maston and Mr. Warner represent the men in the church who disapprove the caretaker’s interest in the common people and the uie of the church or the sexton’s home as a

:fuge. Recent robberies have, in their -pinion, been perpetrated by some of these waifs, though the culprit is much more nearly associated than they then reaUxe.

The high points of the drama are when the young man, whose faith the Cross Maker has destroyed in his youth, returns as the Wanderer, and destroys a very beautiful cross just completed and so prejudices the Cross M aker’s friends against him that a riot almost ensues. He suffers the pangs of remorse as he takes with the sweet girl whom he was instrumental in making a cripple; he himself repairs the broken cross, and experiencing true repentance his faith is restored, and entering into the spirit of the love of Christ and love and service to his feliowmen, he sees the glow of the Cross.

Both the Old Man and the Wanderer were impersonated by Verne Jay, author •nd director of the play, giving a distinct personality to each of these very different characters. The part of the young Buddy, strongly drawn to a useful, honest way of

REPERTORY THEATRE“ The Tempest,” that delightful comedy

of Shakespeare’s continues at I he Reper­tory Theatre of Boston for a second week, where it y* Being much enjoyed by the capacity houses. “ The Tempest” is all about life on a fairy island on the waves of an unknown ocean, and deals not only with the fairy life but with the love of Miranda and Ferdinand, the magic of l>r(Jspero and the plots of various nobles of Milan and Naples wrecked, through Ariel’s charms, on these shores of a fair)' somewhere. I his notable production is the eleventh Shakes­pearean production in Boston under Mr. Jewett’s direction and is being presented with si>ccial detail as to costumes, settings and masks, designed and made by members of the Theatre staff in our own workshops.

This play is attracting a great deal of attention not only from the public anti lovers of Shakespeare, but from schools and many are attending in large groups, some schools coming by bus from points many miles distant and even from New Hampshire.

No play that Shakespeare has written gives more pleasure or is held in warmer affection. Its whole intent seems to be to give enjoyment and satisfaction. Every­thing is ideal. Realism has no part in it, and yet it may be doubted whether any play of Shakespeare’s is more effectively stimulative of good. The ideal of the poets fancy is temijcred with the poet’s real knowledge of the world. I t was evidently Shakesjieare a intention in “ The Tempest” to give a pic­ture of mankind as he saw it, thus each character represents a type Prospero the highest development of nature, in Caliban the primitive man, the animal just evolving into the first stages of civilization, Ariel is the harbinger of joy, Miranda is the ideal in woman, etc. In the characters of Miranda, Ariel and Caliban we have three of the most unique and original conceptions that ever sprang from the wits of man. ‘ The tem ­pest” will continue at The Repertory for another week. The entire strength of the Company appear and the whole has been under the personal direction of Henry Jewett.

B. F. KEITH MEMORIAL THEATRE An exceptionally big vaudeville bill a t the

new B. F. Keith Memorial Theatre for the week beginning Monday, November 26, is headed by Olsen and Johnson, youthful and famous fun-makers, in “ The Racketeers, an act which they guarantee will, “ Take you for a ‘ride’ during a few Mad Moments of Monkey Business.” The two stellar comedy ans are aided and abetted in their offering bi- a large company, which includes Hal riney, Norman Sisters, Sidney Gibson, Baron Ausie Hooper and others.

Olsen and Johnson have recently returned from a highly successful tour of Australia, where they played for twenty weeks in vaudeville and were also featured in the musical comedies, “ Tip Toes” and “ Tell Me More.”

Another distinguished feature on the bill is Walter McNally, “ Ireland’s baritone, offering a cycle of song gems, accompanied by Marie Fleming. Mr. McNally, who played Doctor Engel, the tutor of Prince Carl in the run of more than a year of “ The Student Prince” and whose personal success in the role was as great as that won by the light- opera itself has been claimed by vaudeville for a limited engagement.

The cycle of songs offered by Mr. Mc­Nally includes many Irish lyrics, as well as modern and semi-classical songs.

Joe Keno and Rosie Green in 11A Hilarious Hodge-Podge” present an entertaining bit of eccentric and comedy dancing. They are well known in Vaudeville and have repeatedly scored in musical comedy and motion pic­tures.

Another highly entertaining act on the hill is Lew Castleton and Max M acks "Clever Capers of a High Calibre. This pair of noted performers offer unusual songs ancl dances, rendered in a novel manner.

Sandy l.ang and Company offer 1 A Skating Classic,” with Emeralde Sisters and Patti Lee—an act which has scored a tre­mendous success in vaudeville.

The photoplay for the week is Corrinc Griffith in “ O utcast” , with Edmund Lowe and Louise Fazenda, a First National Pic­ture. The film deals with the romance of a San Francisco woman of the underworld, and a young idler whom she regenerates. It is the powerful feminine characterization that, in the same plot on the stage, made Elsie Ferguson famous behind the foot­lights. William A. Seiter directed the mod­ernized screen version.

EM PIRE THEATRE W’ith “ The Awakening” , the Samuel

Goldwyn United Artists picture which comes to the Empire Theatre on Sunday, Vilma Banky reaches the culmination of her screen career, being, for the first time, starred on her own right. As if to signalize this achievement, word came from her native Hungary, just as the filming of “ The Awak­ening” was being finished, that a play had been written about her meteoric rise to fame to be produced in Budapest some time this winter.

I t has taken the blonde Miss Banky, known far and wide as the “ Hungarian Rhapsody” , just three years to rise from the status of an unknown foreign actress to the heights of filmdom. Two pictures as leading woman for Rudolph Valentino and five as co-star with Ronald Colman, of which the most famous were “ The Night of Love” “ The Magic Flame” and “ Two Lovers” sufficed to bring Samuel Goldwyn to the decision that she was to be individually starred after “ Two Lovers” was com­pleted. Her previous film ex ig en ces had been confined to a few obscure pictures made by German companies on the continent of Europe.

METROPOLITAN THEATRE Sparkling Broadway sparkles no more

than does Paramount’s latest production, “ M anhattan Cocktail” which opens a t the Metropolitan Theatre on Friday, November 23rd. “ M anhattan Cocktail” has all the bright lights, the thrills and the mystery of Broadway itself, and in addition, it has two exceptionally bright stars, Nancy Carroll ancl Richard Arlen.

“ M anhattan Cocktail” , the story of New York backstage life, is the vehicle chosen to co-star this young pair of Paramount’s younger players, and both the young players and the story do justice to the selection. The Hashing personality of Nancy Carroll, or the sympathetic figure of Richard Arlen alone would have added lustre to any picture. The combination of the two in this dashing piece produces an exceptionally fine picture and an enjoyable entertainment.

In the early sequences of the picture, which deals with the efforts of a young college girl to break into the stage racket Marian Morgan’s dancers |>erform beauti fully in several allegorical scenes. Through­out the picture the life behind the scenes on Broadway is revealed in all its reality. “ Manhattan Cocktail” is not only a realistic picture, but is also a moving, thrilling melodrama. Come and hear Nancy sing, “ Another Kiss” and “ Gotta Be Good.”

Fannie Brice, the star comedienne who has appeared in Zicgfcld hollies and the Music Box Revue, and for whom Beiasco producer! a play, will appear on the Metropolitan stage in a sketch called “ Words and Music” in which the versatility of the star will be brought out to the fullest advantage. This is one of the most important engagements ever negotiated for the “ Showplacc of New England” and marks the first apjicarance of the great star on any motion picture theatre stage. The personal appearance of Miss Brice at the Metropolitan gives many thousands of people an opportunity to see and hear this sparkling personality at popu- lar prices. In addition, Gene Rodemich and the Publix Playboy Band will be surrounded by a scintillating stage spectacle called “ Bubbles” which is said to outdo all previous Publix revues in talent, music and dance ensembles.

The week starting Friday, November 30th, Clara Bow will be seen in Elinor Glyn’s newest story, “ Three Week Ends” . In­cluded in the cast arc Neil Hamilton and Chester Conklin.

WILBUR THEATRE Miss Ethel Barrymore, now playing

under the management of Mr. Lee Shubcrt, will be seen at the Wilbur Theatre, Boston, for a limited engagement beginning Monday, November 26th. There will be the usual matinees on Wednesday and Saturday and a special matinee on Thanksgiving Day. Miss Barrymore’s new play, “ The King­dom of God,” is by the prominent Spanish (lramatist, G. Martinez Sierra, in the English version of Helen and II. Granville Barker.

Sierra is a dramatist whose chief concern is the picturing of varied types of character. In “ The Kingdom of God,” he has written a play with a very large cast and has pic­tured some of the problems that Spain is called upon to face. Sierra is already known to America theatre-lovers as the author of the “ Cradle Song,” which was produced in New York a t the Civic Repertory Theatre and later taken to several American cities. Another play, “ The Romantic Young Lady,” has been seen in New York where it was presented a t the Neighborhood Playhouse. Sierra is a writer of great activ­ity, who has had over forty plays presented and who has made about fifty translations from other languages. He has translated Shakespeare, Ibsen, Maeterlinck, Shaw and otners. Sierra has also written about thirty works apart from the drama. He has also found time to be an editor and since 1916 he has managed his own company of players. Though only 47, he has a consider­able amount of work to his credit. Follow­ing a short tour of Europe outside Spain, in 1926 Sierra brought his company of play­ers from their home theatre in Madrid to South America, and later to New York where he produced several of his own works in Spanisn in a short engagement a t the Forrest Theatre during the spring of 1927. A second tour of South America is now under way.

H. Granville Barker has long been distinguished playwright and producer whose works have been seen in England and in America. For several years he has been interested in bringing about a subsidy for the theatre as an educational institution and has written a great deal on this subject.

Miss Barrymore’s new play offers her a role which is one of the most unusual roles that modem drama affords. The present tour is coming to a close pending the com­pletion of the new theatre in New York which the Messrs. Lee and J. I. Shubert are building in her honor. Following the Boston engatement, Miss Barrymore will return to New York for the gala opening of the Ethel Barrymore Theatre.

The street railway company’s petition

for a second track front the Lawrence linc- to Harding street is to come up for considera­tion next Monday. If there is necessity for a double track from l.awrcncc to Harding street, why isn’t there the same necessity for the second track to lie continued to the Square? Is the track stopped at Harding street because of the large expense required to properly widen and grade the street from there to the Square? Should the railway lie given the sweet without the hitter? Docs the need actually exist anyway? I t certainly looks as if the first query could be answered in only one way. If there is a section of the entire way from Andover to Lawrence that requires a double track, from a stand­point of safety, it is from Elm square to Harding street. Curves and sharp grades make it a hard road for electrics. The track cannot for a minute lie allowed to encroach any farther into the raodway as it is now built, and that means the putting of the second track to the east of the present one. The question of street bounds and property damages is at once prominent. The owners of property along Main street at this point have important rights to he protected. That it will be necessary to establish the correct grade and lmunds for this section of Main street very soon is quite likely, hut the expense of putting it into shape for a car track should be borne solely by the railway company, and not first by the town and then turned over to the railway company for its simple asking.

P unchard 54—Roxbury 0

Punchard High ran rough shod over the Roxbury Mission school eleven on the Andover playstead Saturday afternoon amassing a total of 34 points while holding their opponents scoreless.

Captain Walter Batchelder was the outstanding performer of the afternoon scoring four of his team's touchdowns. Allan and Forsythe were each credited with a pair of scores.

The Andover team outweighed and out­classed their visiting rivals. The small Mission school team never had a chance with Coach Lovely’s charges.

Captain Batchelder scored the first touchdown and added the point by a drop- kick soon after the game started. The Rox­bury team tightened their defense from that point and held the home team for the remain­der of the period.

In the second period the Lovely clan again ran wild. Touchdown after touch­down was added until the final whistle had blown and the score stood over the half century mark.

The summary;

Stowe Enda Season W ith F irs t Loss

Two touchdowns and a point after in the opening period sent the hitherto un­defeated Stowe Junior High eleven of And­over down to a 13 to 0 defeat a t the hands of Mitchell Military Academy varsity last Saturday afternoon a t the Military grounds. I t incidently was the first defeat a Stowe team has received in either football or base­ball since its Coach James N. Cole, former Bridgeton Academy athlete took charge.

After the opening period the much smaller Stowe aggregation stopped the heavy on­slaughts of the Military eleven and held them scoreless for three more periods. The suburban boys showed plenty of gameness in plaving the larger Military varsity ag­gregation and much credit is due them for holding them to such a low score.

The offensive of the local school however was not up to its usual standard in its final game of the season and Coach Cole was very much disappointed in the way his offense worked.

The Stowe season is noxv closed with a record of three wins, one tie and one loss for this season and one tie and four wins last year for a two-year record of seven wins, two ties and hut one defeat.

T o ta l M oon Eclipse Com es T h is M onth

A total eclipse of the moon wil| occur November 27 early in the morning. It will be visible from beginning to end every­where in the United States.

The moon will enter the earth ’s shadow a t 2.24 a. m. eastern standard time, and the total eclipse will begin at 3.33 and last until four-twenty-nine o ’clock, when the moon begins to emerge. At 5.39 a. m. the eclipse will he over. Central times are one hour earlier, mountain times two hours, and Pacific times three hours.

Although the moon wi! be entirely within the shadow for nearly an hour, it probably will not disappear from view. The reason is that considerable sunlight is refracted into the shadow through the ring of the earth ’s atmosphere around the base of the shadow The moon at that time will he dim and noticeably red like the setting sun Usually dark eclipses accompany stormy conditions all around the shadow base. The brightest ones occur when no clouds are there to stop the light. Mixed conditions give a s|Mtted appearance to the eclipsed moon.

"Thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end” was the text chosen from the 11th verse of the 29th chapter of Jeremiah for the Armistice Sunday sermon prcschcd by Rev. Frank R Shipman at the South church on November 11.

He spoke as follows:Ten years have flown since November 11,

1918. I t is still easy to recall the joy that marked that clay hereabouts, three thousand miles from the battlefields of Europe. As to the scenes there—in trenches nnd in camps and on battle-fronts—most of us have read, but only those who were there (and some of us here present were there) can realize the feeling of thankfulness that sank deep into the hearts of the actual combatants

Over all else in America’s wild joy of ten years ago was the thought of the coming home of our lioys. But some of them did not come hack. The day when we arc specially bidden to remember them is Memorial Hay. But our memories arc not so brief ancl formal that wc forget them today.

Others returned marred ancl maimed for life. Our industrial life roars on, wc shout over each new triumph of American mass production, ancl it is easy to forget that here and there arc still towards half a million of those boys who came back, partly or totally unfitted for normal life. The govern­ment cares for them,—at least, wc suppose that it docs; but wc should not grow callous and forget them.

So far I have spoken of personal memories, close to our own homes. And now I go on to speak of other gratitudes, fears, hopes, which clustered around the first Armistice Day and still attend the tenth anniversary.

Ten years ago the Red Cross was a house­hold name and sacred, through its service to husbands, sons, and brothers. It is not a name that should or does grow dim with the dust of succeeding years. I t is a wise device in charitable preparedness. It is a machine for worldwide social helpfulness. Last year it spent close to seventeen millions for the Mississippi flood sufferers; but one of its necessary conditions in order to be efficient is to have money in hand before the flood or the hurricane comes, and another is that it shall he operative locally before our eyes. That is why the American National Red Cross is appealing this week for 5,000,000 memberships, and why the Andover Branch wishes this year to take the forward step of employing a local social service worker among the needy families, in addition to the district nurse whom we already know so favorably. The war had its terrible losses. The continued maintenance of the Red Cross in efficiency constitutes one of the gains of the war, guarding the safety of democracy in the world.

Ten years ago we were talking of the ended war as ending all war. We might have known then, we certainly know now, that such talk was ignorant talk. Until we have devised some better and customarily respected way for settling national disputes, the final appeal of the nations to brute force as the supreme arbitrator will remain, even though it is ghastly nonsense. More­over, battle as battle makes its own appeal, and the pomp and peril of war retain their attraction so long as man retains his pug­nacity, his ambition, and his zest for excite­ment. Signs are not lacking that we forget what a horrible thing war is beneath its pomp and trappings. To take one example: no one who witnessed the movie of "The Big Parade ” a year or so ago could mistake war for something jolly. But the latest war movie, “ Wings,” is a different matter. Its pictures of aeroplanes in formation and evolution are beautiful. They make the film deservedly attractive, and one easily over­looks the fact that its strictly war pictures represent war as a kind of superior football game. To my mind they are perverted and perverting in respect to war. When I saw the film, the pictures of men being knocked over—dead—like ninepins, were greeted with amusement.

But a revived kindly feeling towards war, if anyone has it, is likely to be fed from other roots than fancy for military glory. I t may be fed from the deep springs of a narrow patriotism. “ My nation over all.” That motto is not exclusively German. Distinct echoes of it were heard in the recent political campaign in our own land. A national egotism which is willing to gain national advantages at the expense of other

pies of the world can lead to only one goal in the end, and that is war of some sort, veiled or unveiled. If wc set up a national god and teach our children that he created the world and its blessings primarily for our own citizens, we are producing a poison­ous teaching. I t is a (xjison that can run through American arteries as well as through German arteries, and we be just as ignorant as they were that we have got the disease.

Nevertheless I believe that since the war the more lasting impulses of American life have set towards securing peace among the nations. We have not forgotten that war came fourteen years ago like a bolt from the blue. Those most interested had no chance to discuss the matter. No time was given to find a better solution for a problem in national honor than a war which was to kill its millions and ini|>overish society for generations to come. The horrible folly of such a possibility had penetrated the human mind even before 1918. We had many anti­war treaties, and we had the Hague tri­bunal for the settlement of international disputes; but it required the shock of the World War to convince national rulers that international peace was a practical question.

The resulting product of that shock was the plan of the League of Nations. Its main author happened to be an American, no less a person than our president. But his own ' country refused to follow Woodrow Wilson’s lead, partly for the valid reason that it disapproved the details of his plan, and partly lor the short-sighted reason that it was consumed with a desire to get out of European tanglemcnts.

A dislike of the particular scheme of the Lcugue of Nations remains and has a right to remain. Everyone has a right to his own judgment. But the second belief which prevented our adherence to the League, the idea that we can play a lone hand and keep out of international politics, belongs to a time that is forever post. Since Mr. Harding came president, not a month has gone by in which we have not been in in­ternational politics, and of course the crown­ing proof of this came last August in the Pact of Paris for outlawing war,—a new and |)owerful buttress for the League of Nations, built by our own Secretary of State.

Has it, then, come about that after all the World War was the war that ended the war? Prophetically, yes, I think; but actu­ally? far from it. Thai ceremony of pact­signing in Paris last August did not turn this world into a Garden of Eden. What it did was to give statesmanship a new start. I t can be described as only a scrap of paper; all the same it has put man’s hope for peace and his chance for |>eace on a new basis. Think hack to 1914. Suppose the statesmen of that day had had then what they have now,—the League of Nations and the Pact of Paris. These two sheet-anchors might not have held in the storm; but there is a good chance that they would have held, and world-peace have been saved.

Mankind has a long way to go before it will have educated itself out of war. Genera­tions pas., Ircforc the scrap of paper becomes a custom followed as a matter of course. I t is so with any reform. Slowly and reluc­tantly the world pulls itself up to the advance. Negro freedom and equality have Ircen struggling to become more than a scrap of pajrer in this country these sixty vears. So with Prohibition for ten years. So it will Ire with International Peace. But the Great War was not fought uselessly. Our treys and other lioys did not die in vain. There has resulted a realization such as never before existed that war damages the victor almost as much as it docs the vanquished. There has resulted also among us some growth of respect for right, a stronger sentiment of humanity and of justice. I-atcr than these gains, have come vast aids to better feeling through extraordinary de­velopments in the means of communication. The movie, the radio, the aeroplane, and the air-balloon are at present peace mes­sengers. The sky looks brighter on this anniversary of Armistice Day than it has looked on any day since the glad laying- down of arms ten years ago today. No nation lias a larger opportunity than our own to put back black clouds in the sky or to make the heavens wide and clear for a spirit of good-will.

A uthor of “ The Lost Lyriat” Receivea F airchild Award

Friends of the late Eliott Frost, son of George B. Frost, will ire pleased to know that his wife, Elizabeth H. Frost, has just been given an award by the University of Roches­ter, N. Y. in recognition of hercreativeability as shown in her recent liook of poems en­titled "T he Lost Lyrist.”

These poems were written as a memorial to the memory of her husband who died in the summer of 1926, a t the age of 41 years.

At tlfc time of his death Mr. Frost was head of the psychological department of the University and greatly beloved by its fac­ulty and student body and by the city a t large. The University has erected a bronze tablet to his memory and established an Eliott Frost fund to aid ambitious but impecunious students.

“ The I-ost Lyrist ” is in our town library.The following account of the award is

taken from the Rochester Gazette;Mrs. Elizabeth Hollister Frost is the

recipient of the Lillian Fairchild Award for 1928 for her volume of poems, “ The Lost Lyrist” published a few months ago by Harpers. Announcement of the award was made yesterday by President Rush Rhees of the University of Rochester a t the student chapel exercises.

In 1924 Dr. Herman LcRoy Fairchild, emeritus professor of geolo^ of the Uni­versity of Rochester established the trust fund of $2,000 as a memorial " to the lovable personality of Lillian Fairchild and her appreciation of alt things beautiful and ood.” Interest on the fund, amounting to 100, is each November, presented to the

resident of Rochester or of its immediate vicinity who has produced within the year the best creation in art, poetry, or literature of the imagination. The award is not a matter of competition, by the terms of the gift, nor is it in the nature of a prize, nor to be made following any manner of previous suggestion, encouragement, or announce­ment.

I t is rather to be “ in recognition of the spiritual work or product of the individual. There shall be no restriction or conditions of sex, age, race , or language. The gift is not to be awarded to any work in science, politics, or religion, as these terms are commonly understood, but is to be spiritual as dis­tinguished from the utilitarian and the convenient.”

‘‘1116 Lost Lyrist” published by Mrs. Frost is really a memorial erected to the memory of her husband, Eliott Park Frost, late professor of psychology and education at the University of Rochester, who died in the Summer of 1926. The poems are an expression of personal bereavement, and the volume is now in its third edition.

The 1928 committee of award included; Dr. John R. Slater, head of the English de-

Srtment of the University of Rochester, iss Gertrude Herdle, director of the Me­

morial Art Gallery; and Herbert S. Weet, superintendent of education in Rochester.

The gift was made lost year to Mrs. Lulu S. Bacchus for her exhibition of pottery in Memorial Art Gallery in May, 1927, and for her work in originating new glazes as the result of experimentation in the field of ceramics. Miss Eleanor Slater received the 1926 award.

Fernando G erm an!, World’* Youngest O rgan Virtuoso, to Play Here

Andover is to have the opportunity of hearing the world’s youngest organ virtuoso on Friday evening, December 7th, in the George Washington Auditorium, at Phillips academy, a t 8.15 o'clock.

His name is Fernando Germani. He is twenty-one years old and comes from Rome, Italy, where he has been official organist of the famous Augustco Orchestra since he was fourteen years of age. playing regularly under Bernardino Molinari, the noted Italian conductor who made his first visit to America last season as guest conductor of the New York Philharmonic, the St. Louis Symphony, the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, and New York Stadium Concerts. Under such training it is not surprising that Germani, aided by an exceptional talent, should have develops! a maturity of musicianship and a technic which, upon the occasion of his New York Wanamaker Auditorium debut in January, 1928, stamped him at once as a virtuoso of the front rank.

I t is said that not since the historic debut recitals of Marcel Dupre and Charles M. Courboin has an organist been acclaimed in the metropolis with such enthusiasm. His recitals on the same organ that has served to introduce most of the world’s famous organists to America, drew audiences of thousands which responded to his extra­ordinary a rt with acclamations usually heard only at the recitals of favorite pianists and violinists. So great was Germani's success that the Auditorium Direction was besieged with requests for recitals by this new genius, and a tour was arranged which, previous to Germani's return to Rome, carried him through New England and Canada. In response to further requests, the Wanamaker Auditorium Direction ar­ranged for a transcontinental tour, and it is to fulfill these engagements thar Ger­mani returns to America during the present season. Andover is fortunate in being included in his itinerary.

Tickets at SI.00; $.75 and S.50 may be obtained at the Andover Bookstore or from John Dye, George Washington Hall.

Thanksgiv ing Sale by W om an’* G uild of C hrist Church

As surely as Thanksgiving day draws near, another annual institution, the Thanks­giving sale, planned by the Woman’s Guild of Christ church is expected.

This sale, coming on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving day, is a veritable first aid to the women of Andover, with its many de­licious edibles all prepared for the Thanks­giving table. Many a husband has been so spoiled, and his taste so keenly cultivated, tnat unless his mince pie is made with the genuine Guild mince meat, the day is a complete failure.

Everything for Thanksgiving day, from rolls and doughnuts, which according to New England custom start the day right, to candies, cakes, jam, jellies, pickles and puddings, really everything one might desire for the well dressed table, except possibly the turkey—will be ready for pur­chasers. Even the table decorations, in the form of fruit, vegetables or flowers may be bought, together with Chinese lanterns and silver "dollars” which will make lovely decora­tions for the coming winter.

Pretty and useful aprons will be on sale, also gifts of all kinds. A most attractive handkerchief table is added this year, many arranged as Colonial Itouquets for gifts.

During the afternoon, tea will be served (iving one an opportunity to chat and rest jtfore starting home with one's many

purchases.The sale commences at 2 o’clock on Tues­

day, November 27, and is held in the Parish house of Christ church.

In the evening an entertainment, con­sisting of plays, three chosen from Ziegfeld’s Follies and the fourth with the title “ Sup­pressed Desires” will be given under the direction of Mrs. Addison Le Boutillier.

The general chairman for the sale is Mrs. Oram Sheppard and the chairman of the various tables are as follows:

Apron tabic, Mrs. C. S. Cook; handker chief table, Mrs. J . H. Playdon; gift table, Mrs. D. H. Munro; flowers, Miss Bell J. Butterfield; Christmas cards, Miss Alice Jenkins; candy, Mrs. Gerard Chapin; mince meat, Mrs. Arthur Boutwell; food, Mrs. H. Bodwell.

Tea will be served by the Junior Women’s Guild.

Child Welfare G roup Have F irs t M eeting

The first luncheon conference of the group from the Andover League of Women Voters, who will study Child Welfare, was held at the home of the leader, Miss Amelia Shapleigh, on Tuesday, November 20.

Discussion for the day centered on the Newton Bill which will be offered to Congress at the coming Short Session to replace the Sheppard Towner Act which ceases to func­tion on June 50, 1929. Facts about the bills, showing the work accomplished by the Sheppard Towner Act and the need for the continuance of this work through the passage of the Newton Bill were presented by Mrs. Joseph Blunt, Mrs. Alexander Wadsworth, Airs. William Trow and Mrs. Henry' Tyer.

The conference was fortunate in having for its guest, Mrs. E. W. McCready of Chicago, State Chairman of Child Welfare in the state of Illinois at the time of the passage of the Sheppard Towner Act. For the past twelve years, Mrs. McCready has been President of the Child Welfare Asso­ciation of Oak Park, Illinois, during which time the organization has grown to a mem­bership of 2000; and accomplished a magnifi­cent work for children. Details of the work were explained by Mrs. M cC ready and a glowing picture painted of the possibilities yet to be accomplished in all states. But recently returned from Russia, she also gave much first-hand and sumrising information of Russia's progress in Child Welfare.

Those present at the conference were Miss Amelia Shapleigh, Mrs. Edward McCready, Mrs. Thaxtcr Eaton, Mrs. William Trow, Mrs. J. M. Bird sail, Mrs. Henry G. Tyer, Mrs. Alexander Wadsworth, Mrs. Joseph Blunt, Mrs. McClain Reinhart, Miss Dorothy Shapleigh, Mrs. R. N. C. Barnes, Mrs. Horace I’oynter and Mrs. Arthur Bliss, Jr.

Plan Thanksgiving for th e C hildren

Where there arc children in the family— and what family docs not have children at the Thanksgiving dinner— the menu should be planned with this in mind, says Miss May E. Foley, nutrition specialist at the Massachusetts Agricultural College. Decora­tions should also lie chosen to please the younger members of the family as well as the grown-ups.

A hollowed out pumpkin or crooked neck squash makes an attractive beginning for the centerpiece. This may be filled with apples, carrots, oranges, grapes, and pears. Laurel, wintergreen, or partridge berry leaves may be tucked in to give a green contrast. Little ferns with their roots, brought in from the woods and put into flat bowls, will be nice for the Thanksgiving table and for use all winter. Partridge berries, put into a covered glass bowl and kept damp, add color and cheer all winter.

If place cards are needed, they may be made at home. Plain white cards, with a hole slit across the left-hand corner and a spray of green or some red berries inserted, make simple place cards. Little seals for all occasions are now purchasable in the book stores and five and ten cent stores. These pasted on plain white cards are attractive.

As a simple Thanksgiving dinner, Miss Foley suggests the following menu; clear toma­to soup, croutons, roast turkey, duck, or chicken with dressing, cabbage and carrot salad, cinnamon apples, turnip, onions, mashed or baked potato, chocolate plum pudding.

“ Ho! Ho! Ho! Ha! Ha! H a!” shouted two negro porters in a reechoing city station. They punched each other, slapped their sides and went off into spasms of laughter. They caught their respective breaths and then went off again. They started to speak and doubled up. Pretty soon everybody around them was laughing. With no idea of what the joke was, old men and children, bored society ladies and tired business men ail caught the infection and while their audience was not as noisy in its merri­ment, everybody was put into a happy mood.

That was a good example of the truth of the saying “ Laugh and the world laughs with you. ”v Man has been given the privilege of laughing. Animals never laugh. Even the donkey who says “ Hee Haw!” is really not laughing and grins on animals' faces do not mean that they arc enjoying a joke. Animals arc really a serious lot. Children laugh easily. The mirth of school boys and girls, so often irritatingly silly to grown-ups is realty a sign of health. Wholesome giggling goes with natural youth. Why should we feel that as we grow older we should laugh less? Environment often makes a difference and the habit of laughing usually runs in families. Why is it a good habit? Why should we not derive as much benefit as possible from this privilege of enjoying laughter?

We know that laughter is mentally good for us. The relaxation, the lifting of a tem­porary depression, the realization that we are perhaps not so badly off—we have ail

experienced mental stimulation from a good laugh. We alltakcoursclycstooscriously sometimes and we nil, a t times, have felt positively ill through concentrating on a seeming ailment. Just turn the mind onto something funny and our laughter banishes those ingrowing worries.

Wc have not heard so much alxiut the physical benefits of laughter—but they are present. An eminent physician has said “ laughter affects the large and most import- tant organs of the Ixxly in such a way as to modify their functions in the direction of the stimulation of it. As a result laughter has a distinct place in the realm of the maintenance of health. Those who laugh the most arc the ones that live the longest and enjoy the best health.” Our organs more or less rest upon each other. Our heart and lungs rest on our diaphragms. As we grow older we do not jump about mucli and give these organs exercise enough. Laughter serves as exercise for them. They need the jerky vibration that comes with the convulsive move ments of the diaphragm during a good hearty laugh.

The heart is stimulated by laughter. This blood pumping organ needs muscular exercise in order to do its work adequately. The circulation becomes more active and while it used to be an old-fashioned idea that the heart should receive little physical interference we now know that it will stand a great deal. It is meant to be stim­ulated by the various activities of the body. A lazy heart is very bad.

We all know, too, that the liver needs to be “ shaken up” a t frequent intervals. Bile is manufactured in the liver and it must be kept flowing freely. Bile is a neces­sary aid in the digestion of food. A sluggish liver will not manufacture a sufficient flow and digestion will not be efficient. That is why it is good to laugh during and after meal time. The stomach, the pancreas, the spleen and the intestines also are bene­fited by the up and down movements of the diaphragm to stir them up. Laughter improves the digestion and often is an excellent substitute for laxative medicines.

The lungs, however, are the organs most affected by laughter. Large drafts of air are drawn in and out of the lungs during the process and in that way they receive exercise. The chest is also expanded, increasing the air content, sometimes by one-half more than normal. Gusts of laugh­ter increase the intaking of breaths. That is why people with tuberculosis who must rest their lungs in order for them to heal arc not advised to breathe too deeply nor to indulge in hearty laughter.

Laughter, then, has real therapeutic value. I t must be remembered, however, that laughter alone will not cure organic sickness. You cannot laugh off germs. The laughter that comes from within is the best tonic in the world and that can come only when a person has no submerged worries.

In order to be sure of your health why not let your doctor decide? Have a physical examination periodically and be sure of your health. I t is even better to know a bitter truth and have a chance to rectify matters than to stew and (ret about the unknown. The worrying mind can never derive the proper benefit from a good hearty laugh.

To teach the need for periodic physical examination in order to do away with worrying minds is one of the ways the National Tuberculosis Association and its affiliated associations believe they can get the best of tuberculosis. They conduct their annual sale of Christmas seals in December.

H igh Spots In a S um m er Vacation

The wonders of a trip through the Can­adian Rockies and the Southwest were made vivid to the members of the Andover Natural History society on Tuesday evening when Miss Helen Mank of Lawrence, spoke on “ High Spots in a Summer Vacation.” The meeting was held in the Goldsmith library in the Punchard building with twenty-four members present.

Miss Mank described with enthusiasm the Ircauties of Emerald lake, the Yoho valley and Lake O’Hara in the Northwest and the country about Santa Fe in the Southwest. Miss Edith Mank is a collector of beetles and with her sister assisting, the activities of the vacation season center around this hobby. This major interest does not blind their eyes to the interesting fossils of Burgess pass; to the lessons in physical geography to be learned from the work of ice and water among the glaciers; to the amusing bears at Ranier, the deer at Yosemite, or the beauty of the mountain gardens of wild flowers, but rather opens new opportunities for enjoy­ment in places a little ofl the beaten path.

The prehistoric civilizations of the South­west as well as the beauty of the desert made this section of the country of special interest to the travelers.

The next meeting of the society will be held on December 18 in the Punchard build­ing.

COMMUNICATIONNov. 13, 1928

Editor, Andover Townsman.Andover, Mass.

Dear S i r ­in the issue of the Andover Townsman

of Nov. 16 there appeared in the editorial column and also on the front page, articles relative to the Armistice Services held in the Town Hall on Sunday evening, Nov. 11. The articles were merely on attack upon the efforts of the American Legion in their services for their departed comrades, er­roneously describing the audience and mis­representing the patriotic talk of Mr. James J. Mullen of Charlestown. If the writer of that editorial was os sincere in his attendance as any good American citizen should be on such an occasion, we can not understand how he arrived at his deductions as stated in the editorial. The editor seems to wish to proclaim to the town of Andover that he is a pacifist first, and an American after­ward, if at all.

The American Legion locally and nation ally stands staunchly for preparedness first, last and always. I t is one of our ideals and one of the fundamentals of our existence. The American Legion can not and will not tolerate pacifism such as that preached in your newspaper. The American Legion wants peace; wants peace more than any other group of citizens in this country: the members of this organization saw at first hand the horror of war, and know only too well the enormous cost of life and money. We would not want to go through the furnace again, nor do we want our sons and younger brothers to endure what we ex­perienced ten years ago. We KNOW war, and we WANT peace, but—if the call to arms should come again (and who can prove it will not?) we want our sons and the young men of this country to be ready to serve the country, as we were, and we want them to be given a t least an even chance. Would that eveiy Pacifist, cherishing doc­trines like those published by your editorial writer, would pay a visit to the Legion rooms some evening and chat with the boys, and hear, perhaps with surprise, the truth; hear how many American soldiers were only half equipped, half trained, and only in a small part inured to the discipline necessary for real service, to go forth into the greatest adventure of their lives. Yes, it may be fine to talk universal peace, but the Townsman attacked the wrong body of citizens when it tried to slap the American Legion on the subject of PREPAREDNESS. We know the truth and we have that spirit of Americanism and patriotism that makes it possible for us to see the light and fully appreciate such noble efforts as the late speech on preparedness of President Coolidge. However, we failed to see the professional pacifists, or even your editor, attack Mr. Coolidge on the same subject on which fault is found with us.

In reference to the error in telling of the attendance a t the Sunday exercises, we take this opportunity to say that the audience was one of the largest that ever attended such a service in Andover. For five weeks notices of the ceremony were published in the local papers, from the pulpits of the local churches, and by word of mouth; and if the citizenry of Andover did not turn out in larger numbers, it was no fault of the American Legion, and certainly no occasion for what sounded like ribald joy on the part of your writer. If the Townsman wished to uphold the ideals and traditions of its founder, it might well have helped enlighten the folks of the town about this memorial service for those who gave their lives in the World War, and for those who died since. The editors of the Townsjpan could have rendered the American Legion an admirable service, but they evidently preferred to strike at the very heart of the United States by trying to portray a speech on Americanism as false doctrine, and by trying to belittle the efforts of the American Legion when it tries to perpetuate the memory of departed comrades.

We hope this may be our first and last word on your questionable editorial; and we do not wish to enter into controversy with the local paper; but we do not intend to stand idly by when the Townsman tries to represent to the world an Andover that holds to a milk and water pacifism in prefer ence to a true American wish for peace supported by an honest friendly preparedness.

Yours very sincerely,P ercy J . D ole

Civics D epartm ent to P resen t M rs.Gilson

Mrs. Gilson has l>ecn coming to Andover for a goodly number of years. She has made for herself an increasingly enviable place as an authoritative speaker on world affairs.

She has traveled to every corner of the world, has had entree to those charged with the government of states and nations. She has seen, studied, and lived in the places of which she siwaks.

A short time ago slie returned from the l'ar East. She saw China in chaos, Japan struggling with poverty, India at bay, the Philippines laboring with ill-digested Jef­fersonian philosophy; and, further west, she saw a commercialized Palestine and a sullen Egypt.

This summer Mrs. Gilson has been in Europe, visiting her usual haunts and plan­ning in particular to bring home the fruits of a journey to Latvia, Esthonia, Lithuania, and Russia.

Among the many endorsements she lias received the words of the Boston Herald will be particularly interesting, coming from so near home.

“ Not only is Mrs. Gilson a keen student of offairs and a great traveler, not only has she very definitely fitted herself for her work by spending about half of each year in Europe ever since the close of the War, but she is singularly equipped by personal gifts, by experience, and by her outlook on life to shed light on social and political movements. The great sweep of things she handles in such a way that they take on color and reality under her treatment.

“ She has been a careful observer of events, a clear and keen thinker on the seemingly inscrutable ways of the world of politics and current history. With wit as well as with humor she depicts the whys and where­fores of the fascinating game played by peoples and premiers, so dovetailing her material into a related whole that, when she has finished, one understands, perhaps for the first time, what is really going on in the world.

I t should not, however/ be thought that it is only foreign affairs which Mrs. Gilson discusses in her talks. No one knows Our United States' better than she or more

justly appreciates America’s special need of interpretation. This interpretation is always non-partisan too. Even Mrs. Gilson's closest friends never know quite where she >uts her cross when she herself exercises ler privilege of citizenship.”

Any one in Andover interested in this course of seven lectures will be most welcome. The first meeting is next Friday, November 30th a t 3.15 o ’clock—The price for the whole series is $3.50 or $.60 for a single lecture.

S t. A ugustina’a Notes

Cold W e a th e r a n d F resh Air

This is the season when the thermometer and the windows go down at the same time. With the arrival of the lin t chill breeze sashes are lowered and doors closed against the outdoor air as against a bitter enemy. This is a system that lias its draw­backs, however. It is well enough to protect ourselves against cold, but in shunning fresh air too much, wo are apt to run the risk of lowering our resistance against disease. No air is so healthful as outdoor air, and wc need a quantity of it every day in order to keep well.

Now that the winter is upon us, let us not neglect to keep our bedroom windows o|ien while we sleep. In an era uf electric pads, hut water Ixitlles and warm, light covering, there is no reason why wc cannot have a comfortable night’s rest in a cold room. Only in very severe climates is it lierhsps advisable not to keep the windows wide o|ien at night.

Moreover, we can work more efficiently and more contentedly in home, shop or office, if the windows are o|ieiied for a few minutes several times a day. And let us remember that a brisk, dully walk tones up the system so that we do not feel the cold so much. To educate the public in the value of fresh air and in disease prevention, the National Tuberculosis Association and its affiliated organizations are conducting the twenty-first Christmas seal sale.

P opu lar Jersey Jicc-Jaccs a t Cryetal Ballroom

Having foregone the pleasure of dancing on Wednesday evening because of a private party, dance enthusiasts of Andover and Greater Lawrence will have their innings at the Crystal ballroom in Shawsheen Village tonight and tomorrow evening. The Jersey Jicc-Jaccs, gaining in popular favor with every appearance on the orchestral stage, will furnish the musical program, which will feature all the popular hits and several numbers that are entirely new. The Jicc- Jaccs are certainly keeping abreast of the times.

The Balmoral Associates, operators of the Crystal ballroom, aim to please their patrons a t all times. They are particularly desirous of giving them the kind of music they want. Therefore, if any of these patrons should particularly like to hear specific numbers they may have their wishes gratified upon request at the box office. The management has no way of becoming familiar with the individual desires of their patrons unless the latter make them known.

SULLIVAN—PICARDA pretty fall wedding took place Monday

morning when Miss Mary J. Picard of Main street, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Picard of Milles Roches, Ontario became the bride of Augustine P. Sullivan of Brechin terrace a t a nuptial mass cele­brated a t nine o ’clock in St. Augustine’s church by Rev. Charles A. Branton, O. S. A. pastor. The bridal couple were attended by Miss Ida M. Picard of Long Island N. Y. a sister of the bride as bridesmaid and William A. Harnedy as best man.

The bride was married in her traveling costume of brown velvet with hat to match and carried a bouquet of bronze chrysan­themums. The bridesmaid-wore tan velvet with hat to match and carried yellow chrys­anthemums.

The wedding march was played by Miss Annie G. Donovan, organist. During the mass Joseph Donovan of Lawrence sang “ O Salutaris,” “ Hymn to the Sacred H eart” and "O Lord I Am Not W orthy” at the Communion.

Toad G ourm ands Feast on Insects, S tingers and All

Toads are commonly creatures that in­spire dislike on the part of the beholder. Nevertheless, the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture finds that toads are distinctly useful in fields and gardens and deserve protection. Their usefulness depends on their appetite. They are gourands, and eat all sorts of insects in great quantities. True it is that they eat some useful insects, but they eat so many more of harmful insects that the balance is much in their favor.

One of the peculiarities of the toad is its habit of eating stinging or poisonous insects and allied creatures as ants, bees, wasps, rose chafers, blister beetles, mille peds, and poisonous spiders. While they may cause the toad some slight discom­fort, the pain evidently is not serious enough to vanquish the toad's appetite. Toads have been known to eat certain plant­eating millipeds, which secrete the highly poisonous hydrocyanic acid.

Of the many kinds of toads living in the various parts of (he world to-day the United States is the home of what is probably the smallest, the oak toad of the Southeastern States, which feeds chiefly on ants. The Colorado River toad is one of the largest, about nine inches long, with a mouth large enough to swallow birds, although insects are its principal food.

Have A W arm Lunch

“ A warm well nourishing luncheon is one of the liest ways to strengthen the growing child’s power of resistance against disease,” says Dr. Merrill Champion, Director of the Division of Hygiene of the State Department of Public Health.

Now that the cooler days are here mothers who must pack the noon meal are on the alert for school lunch hints—especially the big problem of how to include a hot dish.

Some rural schools have a simple arrange­ment consisting of a wash boiler with two rows of racks enabling the food prepared at home to lie reheated at school. The children bring their soups, chowders, stews, etc., and at recess time the boiler is pushed over the heat and a hot lunch results.

The thermos bottle helps immensely in tills huge problem of the hot dish ut noon and many mothers rely u|xm it for keeping the daily soups or cocoa warm ami ap|>etizing.

The city mother should lie sure to instruct her child to always choose at least one warm dish from the school lunch cuunter.

The mother who is (ortunute enough to serve lunch at home lias the least difficult of the luncheon problems. She can easily prepare a warm dish and of course knows exactly what her children are eating for lunch.

“ At least one warm dish at noon” is a sound rule that should lie followed under any circumstance.

M arketing of M inerals Im proved

One of the problems that have always confronted the mineral industry is the dis­tribution and marketing of its products. Today, mining is showing a tremendous advance in efficiency and economy in this branch of its work.

New markets, such as that provided by the growth of the electrical industry with its great demand for copper, have expedited mining and helped greatly in raising it to higher levels of economic soundness. In­formation is now available that allows the producer to foresee market demands and adjust his supply to the best advantage.

Mining has met its many difficult problems in a constructive, forward-looking manner that has taken it from the romantic and speculative, to the stable, conservative industry that it now is.

Sexes Are Separated in F rench Schools

Schools in France for the most part are not coeducational, but in some places they admit both boys and girls. In maternal schools any child under six may attend. Each commune is expected to maintain at least one elementary primary school. In small communes the schools are of necessity mixed, but where two or more schools are supported the usual practice is to separate the sexes. The superior primary schools, the secondary, normal, and technical schools are usually not coeducational. Schools for boys are generally taught by men and schools for girls by women, but some courses in secondary schools for girls are given by men teachers. The proportion of women teachers is increasing. The universities of France are open to both men and women.

At the revival meeting, converts were coming forward by the dozen. A negro came striding down the aisle and dropped to his knees. He was bare-footed, and two enor­mous feet stuck up behind him.

In a moment the revivalist started up the aisle, kneeling here and there beside the converts. The near-sighted old man peered earnestly a t the negro, patted him on the shoulder, and murmured: “ Bless you, brother.” Then, kneeling behind him and putting a hand on each heel, he said, “ And bless these two dear little boys.”

O bituary

ELIZABETH FARRELL Miss Elizabeth Farrell died Tuesday

night after a lingering illness. Born Manchester, England in 1850 she came to this country in 1865. She had resided in Lawrence for a long time, coming to Ballard vale twelve years ago.

Miss Farrell was a member of the local Methodist church and always took a keen interest in its welfare.

Funeral services were held Friday after noon at two o'clock at her late home on Marland road. Rev. E. H. Scheyer, pastor of the Methodist church officiated. Inter ment was in the Bellevue cemetery, Law rence.

life by the influence of the Old Man and his daughter, yet sorely tempted by the smooth knavery of Edgar, was played most naturally by Chet Stilson, one of the Verne Jay players. His tempter was seen in the person of John Caldwell.

Miss Emma Stevens was most successful in her portrayal of the Barbara, the lame girl, devoted to her father, patient with ter restless lover and forgiving to the Wand­erer who had crippled her and the friends who turned against her father.

The “ pillars of the church” , Mr. Maston and Mr. Warner, were represented by James Souter, Sr., and Alfred Harris, the former acting as spokesman and the latter as his echo. Their difficulties as to who was the real spokesman add an element of comedy to a serious situation. Other amusing charac­ters whose simple humanness relieve tense situations arc the gossips, Mrs. Richards and Mrs. Harvey played by Mrs. II. A. Kamsdcll and Mrs. J. L. Paine and—Mrs. Richards’ mild but persistently curious husband, Samuel, played by Lewis Paine.

The women of the church congregation are represented by Mrs. Grafton, an earnest woman who has a sense of the real mission of the church and the fashionable and supercilious Mrs. Warner who dislikes to run shoulders with people not in her own class, but loses sleep, according to her ac­count, about the lack of churches in India. The contrast of these two types was brought out by Miss Bessie Coutts and Miss Eleanor Kamsdcll.

The Verne Jay players were well supported by the local talent and the entire performance was given with perfect smoothness, especially noticeable in the difficult scenes when the mob attempts to do violence to the Cross Maker, and a comparatively large number of characters were used on the stage. Effective lighting adding greatly to the impressive­ness of the play, was arranged by John Cameron and William Morrissey.

The quartette whose voices from a dis­tance carried out the impressions of the significance of the Cross was Sadie Mac- I.eish, Margaret Reid, William Crowe and Mayhcw Stickney. An organ prelude as well as incidental music during the play was played by E. Thornquist.

O bituary

BENJAMIN F. STAFFORDBenjamin F. Stafford, a resident of Tewks­

bury street, Ballardvale, from 1910 to 1928 died at the Pulmer Memorial hospital, Boston, on November 17, aged eighty years. His wife was the late Minnie D. Stafford.

He is survived by three sons, Roy D. Stafford, treasurer of Berea college, Dereu, Kentucky, Robert W. Stafford of Somer­ville, and Philip H. Stafford of Swampscott; and one daughter, Mrs. Marion S. Harlow of Northampton.

Funeral services were held at Burlington, Vermont on November 19.

“ How surprised we would be if we could see ourselves as others see us,” said Brown.

"Yes,” replied Towne, "but think how surprised the others would lie if they could see us as we see ourselves.”

The first appearance of the Verne Jay players in Andover attracted a large audience to the Free church on Sunday evening where a one-act drama “ When Men Forgot” was presented.

Following an opening service of prayer, music and Scripture reading, Mr. Jay spoke a few words about the new relation of the church and the drama and his hope that the dramatic a rt may be used more and more by the church to convey a great, vital message.

The scene of “ When Men Forgot” is the interior of a deserted church and at the opening of the drama Robert Jenkins is discovered in troubled meditation before the stained glass window representing Christ kneeling at Gethsemane. In a con­versation with the sexton, who passes through the church on his way to ring the bell, he expresses his sense of the futility of life and confesses how in his pursuit of

{ilcasurc and money he has embezzled nrge sum of money from the bank of

which he was president, has made restitu­tion, and been pardoned by the directors who are willing to reinstate him in his former position. An offer has come to him of a position with a company of doubtful standing', at three times nis former salary and he is tempted to accept. He feels that he is a completely disillusioned man.

The third person in the drama is the Girl. She is not personally known to Jenkins, and comes to bring a message from his mother, who, having heard that he had strayed from the straight and narrow way, still thinks of him, not as a weakling but as the son who lias made something of himself, in whom people have put their faith and who holds a position of trust. Posing os a close friend of Reynolds, but not disclosing his identity, the distracted man listens to the message really intended for him, pours out his troubles to a willing listener and finally acknowledges that he is Robert Jenkins. A worn Bible with a note saying “ A mother understands" gives him a new confidence in himself, and “ a m other’s faith " reveals to him a new significance in life.

Bakery T ruek Destroyed By Fire After T u rn in g T u rtle

A Ward Baking company truck fully loaded was totally destroyed shortly after six o ’clock Saturday morning when it skidded on the Andovcr-Reading road and over­turned on the cur tracks, bursting inlu Hume. The driver, Harry Geaudreau, nar­rowly escaped death. He received a gash on the left leg and u cut on one hand and was taken to the residence of Dr. W. D. Walker in the fire department ambulance.

Passersby, on seeing the burning truck sounded the lire alarm from two boxes, Box 32 at Carter’s corner was sounded at 6.09 u. m.; iiox 31 opliosite the residence of George May sounded at 6.14 a. m. The apparatus from the Central station responded and cxlenguished the llunics. They also removed the truck from the car tracks to the side of the road. The accident hap|iened on the hill north of Baker’s turnout. The contents of the truck were strewn about tiie highway and the truck itself was a total loss.

The lire department resjioiidcd to a still alarm shortly before midnight last Friday to extinguish u fire in a Ford runabout in Andover square. The car was owned by Martin Vincent of Lawrence.

Another still alarm ut 8.23 p. m. Friday was answered and a grass fire extinguished on the projierty of Frederick H. Jones on the Andover-Reading road.

The Art of W asting T im e

Rev. J. Edgar I’ark| president of Wheaton college, Norton, speaking before the students of Phillips academy on last Sunday chose as his subjert, “ The Art of Wasting Time at College.”

He spoke as follows:I am going to speak to you on a subject

of which I am an expert; it is the subject of Ways of Wasting Time. I limit it to Ways of Wasting 'l ime a t school or College. You have noticed when you have had to visit anybody at a distance in an automobile that there is a lot of waste space in the world. There arc miles and miles of road that seems to you to he of absolutely no use and might just as well lie omitted. Soon after the creation man saw that far too much time had been created, he had so much time on his hands that he did not know what to do with it. 'file legend is that he asked God how he should kill this extra time and that God told him the best way to kill time was to invent cards. I am not going to speak specificinlly about that but of Ways of Wasting time studying, which limits it a little further.

The first way of wasting time studying is by continuing to read in a fog. I have wasted hundreds of hours pretending to read, going through the mechanical motions of reading so that I could say that I had read it, that I could be "after reading” it to use the Irish phrase; and all the time I had to be continually waking up to recog­nize the fact that I had not intelligently thought of anything since the page before last. So I would turn hack and try to get connected again. I t is like an engine which is running without the clutch in. I t goes nowhere hut it is still running. You are perfectly capable of going on reading words, one page after another and find on the third page that you are unconscious of all you nave mechanically read in the last ten minutes. What can you do about it?

The popular method, it seems, is to articu­late with your lips when you arc reading. You aften see people doing this, reading the newspapers, on the trolley cars. The fact that it looks farmerish dismisses that method from serious consideration!

The only solution of course is the solution of interest. If you get, as I hope you will in the next mail, a letter in the center of which is this sesntence, “ I regret to tell you that your great-grandmother died last week and left you $5000 which you will receive by check on the 1st of next m onth” you know immediately everything in that sentence. You read it over again, but you do not read it over again in order to be sure of its contents but only to renew the thrill which you got when you read it the first time. There is no question but you know the facts. Of course that is the solution. I t

a matter of interest.But you say, “ That is all right,” but

how is any one to get interested in the sentence: “ All horned animals ruminate." Of course you have to get back to the fact which is a truism that just as soon as you know anything either about rumination or about homed animals you are interested in that sentence. The only cure for wasting time by reading in a fog is interest, and you only get interest when you begin to know something. Just as soon as you know any­thing about a subject you are interested.

Notice for instance people reading news­papers on a railroad train. The person on one side comes to the sports page and turns it right over without reading a work of it. The person on the other side comes to the financial page and turns that right over. You will find that unless you have a little money invested somewhere the whole financial page is Greek to you and you always turn over, because it has no interest for you. But you see other people who are in a perfect frenzy until they get to that page. If you know even a very little about anything you will discover that you can read intelligently about it and not in a fog.

A second splendid way of wasting time is by looking words up in the dictionary and forgetting what the meaning was before you get back to the text. I have spent hours of my life in looking up words and then looking them up again because I could not hold their meaning until I got back to the text. If you will only go slowly and concentrate on the meanings of a w ord- look at it sideways and front ways and backways until you get it into your mind— you will save time and after a little practice looking up a word in the dictionary once will make it part of your knowledge for all time.

The last way of wasting time of which I will speak is working against “ I know I can’t do i t . ” Just remember the condition which everybody in learning to drive an automobile has to meet. If you have never driven an automobile and get at the wheel and it begins to move you are at first scared, you know you cannot drive a car. I t is not in your nature to drive a car. And then you say to yourself, “ Just look at the fools who are driving. If they can drive, why can’t I? ” I t is exactly the same ill school and college. Look at the fools that have gone through both. But there are in every school grouos of people up against " I can’t ” . They know they are going to be sent home before Christmas. They can’t do anything in mathematics or l.atin. Just look around and sec other people of only half your intellectual equipment who hav managed to stay.

A Crimson Rambler lived in a dark corner and it was all yellow from being in the dark It said there was no use putting forth a bud because it couldn’t do anything in that dark corner. One day after living for fiv years without ever being anything but _ sickly yellow it got curious as to why the birds always sang after they passed the corner of the wall. So it put out a little shoot and around the corner it found ten feet of sunlit wall which it never had known about before. Then it spread a great branch over the sunlit wall so that people came from all parts of the country to see the famous Crimson Rambler. You can keep in a dark corner and say I can’t when one fraction of an inch from you is a tremendous part of your mind w hich is capable oi being developed in the full sunshine of real in­tellectual achievement.

I ime is a precious fluid which an organism can transform into anything in heaven or earth. You are the organism. You can trans­form it into brains or fat, into character or disease, into everything or nothing.

In the famous Whistler lawsuit, one of the Whistler pictures was produced in court. “ How long” , asked the opiiosing lawyer, “ How long, Mr. Whistler, did you take to paint that picture?” Mr. Whistler answered, “ About forty minutes.” “ And you have the eurontery to ask one hundred guineas for the work of forty minutes?" “ No", answered Whistler, “ I ask it for the know­ledge of a lifetime!” In other words he hud turned his time into that picture.

The only object of this address is to save some of you from awaking too late to find you have frittered away into nothing the most precious of your {Kjssessiuns, your time. Lose it and you have nothing. Use it and the world is your servant.

Make hot cheese toast for winter suppers sometimes. For 12 or 14 slices, you will need one pound of medium sharp American cheese, one-half pint rich milk or cream, two eggs, four drops of tabasco sauce, one- half teaspoon salt, one and one-half teaspoons baking powder, and two tablespoons of flour mixed with an equal amount of water. Flake the cheese with a fork. Heat the milk in a double boiler, thicken it with the flour and water mixture, and cook for five min utes. Add the beaten eggs, the cheese, and the salt. Cook very slowly until the cheese has melted and the mixture is thick and creamy. Allow it to cool and add the baking powder. Spread on the untoasted side of bread that is browned on one side only. Put the mixture on evenly to the very edges, otherwise they will be too hard and brown. Brown the cheese toast delicately under a low gas flame or in the oven. If desired lay a strip of crisp bacon across each slice of cheese toast. Serve immediately.

A number of vegetables are suitable for filling with stuffings of various ingredients. Eggplant, green peppers, large Spanish onions, cymlings, tomatoes, and cabbage are among those often served in this way, Usually the stufTing is made of other vege­tables, ground meat, and some starchy material such as bread crumbs, or cooked rice, or spaghetti, to give body. A great many combinations are possible in stuffings and they offer an excellent way to use up small portions of leftovers. For stuffed onions, for instance, the following combina­tion is particularly good—chopped celery, buttered bread crumbs, ground cooked ham, and a little leftover gravy or sauce to act as a binder. Most stuffed vegetables can be prepared early in the day and set aside until it is time to reheat them. For this reason, and because they are tasty and unusuul, they are well adapted to “ company ’* meals when one v nts something a little out of the ordinary.

23^^1928 >̂ark ' Massachusetts, November“ Governor Smith’s statesman-like and

patriotic appeal to the American people to give their wholehearted support to President-elect Hoover in the working out op his policies is a tribute to the Governor’s fair-mindedness and proof that his highest desire is for the welfare of the whole American people regardless of political party.

"M r. Hoover will administer the affairs °* f“e. nation as an engineer and not as a politician; eveiy section of the country will receive equal consideration and all groups will he accorded fair treatment. Sections of the country that are now lagging from a business standpoint may expect constructive efforts to better conditions, Mr. Hoover iB first and foremost an engineer; and every good engineer works first for the strengthening of the weakest part of the machine. By training and instinct he is so constituted that he cannot sit by and do nothing to improve parts of the economic structure that are not functioning perfectly. Hence, we may plan on the beginning of a period of more uniform distribution of prosperity.

“ Mr. Hoover can be depended upon to make an earnest effort in behalf of the farmer. He understands the problems involved and constructive plans will be shaped to bring back depressed agricultural areas. He has said that he will call a special session of Congress next Spring if the short December session fails to pass a farm relief measure. If such a law can be passed during the December session the special session would, of course, be unnecessary. Mr. Hoover is sympathetic with the need for farm relief, and the agricultural sections can look for constructive action.New England May Expect Forward

Looking Problem“ Mr. Hoover undoubtedly understands

this era of mass production in industry better than any other man in the countr.y Consequently New England will receive the benefit of his great technical skill in the form of some constructive program for the

improvement of the textile industry. Already there arc signs of returning confidence in textile circles. Immediately after Mr. Hoover declared in his Boston address that the textile business had turned the corner, there began a more active buying movement of cotton goods and the whole trade has shown increasing confidence. Of course, there are limitations to the extent which any one man, no m atter how exalted his position, can influence economic trends. Mr. Hoover, however, knows the conditions and the problems of the textile industry, better than any other President we have ever had. Leaders in the textile business have confidence in him, and confidence is the basis upon which prosperity depends.

Florida Will Benefit “ Florida should reflect the general con­

fidence of the nation in the future of busi­ness. Northern capitalists will he more ready to invest in that state than they have been since the collapse of the boom in 1925. Business prosperity in any section depends fully as much on psychological factors as on material resources. In the past three years of depression Florida’s attraction have been just as alluring from an agricultural, climatic, and recreational stand­point as they were during the wild boom of the three preceding years. The only difference was that capitalists had lost confidence and withdrawn their investments from the state. To be sure the hurricane of two months a p was a serious drawback. However, the changing sentiment, the renewed confidence, and the implicit faith in Mr. Hoover as a doctor of business troubles should more than offset the retarding influences of the hurricane. Florida is now probably at the beginning of a new period of prosperity. There are a number ol straws that show the wind to be blowing in that direction. One illustration is that immediately after election an important Florida municipal bond issue, which had been hanging fire for a number of months owing to the inability to sell it was snapped up without hesitation. This happened because wealthy investors once more have confidence that business

is going to improve and that Florida will recover.

South Should ProsperThe next four years should see some

striking economic developments in the South. Hydro-electric programs requiring the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars are planned. Indeed, in the past two years nearly one-half of the total in- crease in water power development in the United States was in the South. Mr. Hoover has evidenced a keen appreciation of the importance of these hydro-electric resources an(* alat guidance should prove especially helpful in solving the problems connected with them. The South is a land of vast natural resources. I t contains five times as much area of coal lands as all of Europe combined, with the exception of Russia, and twice as much with Russia included.

The remarkable progress that has been made in the increasing manufacturing production, farm production, and mineral production in the past few years is but a muior J?“rt t*'e development that is to come. Thus far the South has only scratched the surface of her resources. Naturally the interest of the engineer is in the develop­ment of untapped resources, and this may be expected to be one of Mr. Hoover’s important interests in the coming four years.

Export Trade Should Increase"There is every reason to believe that

our export trade will continue the same advancing tendency that has been mani­fest during the past eight years. Mr. Hoover’s primary interest in the Department of Commerce was the expansion of our world trade. This should bring important benefits on the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific Coasts. Our great far Western seaports will feel the impetus from the active foreign trade policjr that will doubtless be carried out by the in co m in g Administration. Business throughout th e interior of the country will show the sustaining influence of expanding foreign markets, which are so necessary to care for our production. The Babson- chart of business now registers six per cent above normal. "

New Eating H a b it, for OldBy H e l e n a L. W illiam s

Twenty-five years ago it was common­place for a business man to eat three hearty meals a day; including, perhaps chops for breakfast, steak for lunch, roast beef for dinner. Also, twelve-course dinners and heaping portions were the ideal of the perfect hostess.

Those were the good old days when waistlines were a merely feminine problem and paunches were an indication of pros­perity.

But the day of overstuffed bodies has passed. Nowadays doctors recommend a moderate diet with meat not more than once a day, and it is not unusual to see men of affairs eating a bowl of milk and crackers for lunch. While children should be encouraged to maintain a weight slightly above the average, for healthy adults past forty, a few pounds under the average or “ normal” weight provide the “ margin of safety ”.

The change has come about for several reasons. We have acquired a wholesome dread of overweight. Overweight is useless baggage. I t may bring on a high olood pressure for one thing, which in turn may cause a serious heart condition and other ailments. Then, too, surplus weight is like unburnt carbon which clogs the cylinders. We have found that overeating causes

mental sluggishness. And in this age of high-pressure business methods, no one can afford to De so handicapped. Moreover, the average business man takes less exercise than he needs, so that his body does not require as much fuel as that of the physically active person.

Nutrition experts agree, however, that many of us do not eat well-balanced meals. In recent years they discovered that leafy green vegetables are of vital importance m the human diet, and it has become a hard task to make the public appreciate this fact. Vegetables such as cabbage, kale, string beans, celery, spinach, beet greens, dandelion greens, turnip greens and water cress are called the “ protective foods” . They contain the vitamins that are essential for growth and that protect against certain diseases such as rickets, scurvy and pellagra. Vitamins also help to keep bodily resistance against tuberculosis at par. I t is not im­possible to have fresh vegetables even on the tanle of the city family, for with modern

transportation and refrigeration they are obtainable the year round.

Starchy foods are also essential, though potatoes, beans, spaghetti, and cereaU should not outbalance green vegetables. The so-called " tu b ers” , including carrots, beets, turnips and other root vegetables should also be included. And fruits are far more valuable than sweets, of which Americans, by the way, eat a vast quantity. Recent figures show that we consume about 100 pounds of sugar per person per year, or a°out one-sixth of our daily energy supply.

This” says Food, Nutrition and Health, crowds out an equivalent amount of the

food which, if used instead of sugar, would supply all the things in which sugar is lacking. Sugar contains no structural ma­terials, no vitamins and no mineral elements.1

Public education in a healthful diet is one of the activities of the National Tuber­culosis Association and its affiliated organ­izations which are conducting the twenty- first Christmas Seal Sale in December.

$65,800,000.

RED CROSS FIGHTS DEATH AND DISEASE

Four Nation-wide Services Pro­mote Health Preservation and

Accident Prevention.

In this year of the ten th ann iversary of the Arm istice, which ended the world war, the American Red Cross still finds a g reat arm y of disabled and sick v eterans requiring assistance, and whoso fam ilies also m ust be aided, according to a sta tem en t by Jam es L. Fleser, vice chairm an In charge of do­m estic operations of the Red Cross a t W ashington. In the ten years since Novem ber 11, 1918. the Red Cross has expended approxim ately $65,800,000 In veteran relief work, Mr. F leser said.

T here Is a daily average of 25,500 disabled nnd sick world w ar ve te rans enrolled In V eterans’ Bureau and o ther governm ent hospitnls which care for these men and women, and about the sam e annual average of veterans suc­cum bing to wounds and illness, for whose dependents Hie Red Cross Is pledged to give required assistance. Mr. F leser pointed out.

In addition, the Red Cross, under Its c h a rte r granted by Congress, has a definite duty tow ards serv ice men of the regular estab lishm ent of Army. Navy and M arine Corps, and follows them to all foreign ports or duty. The expenditure In th is work for the year ending June 30, 1928, waB $307,458, the annual report Btates.

"Upon the Red Cross res ts the sa cred obligation of carry ing on relief work for the disabled service and ex service men und women and th eir de­pendents, taking up the work where th e G overnm ent Is not able to carry on." Mr. F leser Buld. "The Red Cross has 349 trained workers, serving either full or part tim e In the Hold, in liaison work, cam ps and hoHpitalB, who are alwayB in personal contact with the sick und disabled in hospitals, with the men In the regu lar Army. Navy and Marino Corps, und who stand ever ready to serve veterans back In civil life, who need the liolp of a friendly agency to aid In estab lish ing their righ ts und claims.

"To m aintain th is staff and to sup port tho praettcul services tlioy ren der, the Red Cross m ade expenditure of $1,169,795 for tho year ending June 30. 1928. lit addition 2,700 Red Cross C hapters, In that num ber of communl ties, who huvo estab lished special work for tho disabled servlco and ex service people, expended during tile pust year $1,732,000.”

Tho unnuul report s ta te s th a t the num ber of death eluims ulono of vet e rau s which uru handled through the W ur Service ut nutlomil headquarters of the Red Cross, bus Increased from 12,010 In 1923-24 to 24,602 In 1927-28 During tho yeur ending June 30. 1928, W ur Service ussisted C hapters In ad justing Governm ent claim s am ounting, la benefits to veterans or tbolr depeu dents, to $693,203.42 in uwurila foi com pensation, Insurance, adjusted com pensation, buriul expenses, etc. In addltlou to th is am ount, which repre seated lump sum puym euts, aw ards were obtulued for $183,389 In monthly Insta llm ents of lusuratice und compeii sutloa and lu q uarterly ad justed com peusutiou paym ents.

The Trowels minus their captains and rolling two dummies lost four to the Squares

Ravens Flying High

The Ravens are flying far in the lead in the Clan Auxiliary bowling league and have lostone point in 16 to date. I'he remarkable showing of the leaders is due to the vastly improved rolling of M. Camptwll, M. Kuxton and W. Jack who have Iwxistcd their averages several points. The teams started the season practically on even terms accord­ing to averages but the slump of a n u m l x r of iiowiers on the other teams has sent the Ravens far in the lead. The season is young yet and the leaders arc due for their bumps.

Monday night the Ravens won four from the Robins who rolled two dummy scores. I Caldwell led with 95 and 26.3. M. Campbell of the Ravens hit 98 and 257. The Bluebirds managed to win a point from the Blackbirds who advanced to second place. Miss C. Cairnie of the Bluebirds was high with 91 and 250.

The fire department nnswered an alarm from Box 66 Saturday evening for a fire in a house owned by the American Woolen com­pany at 384 North Main street at the corner of Kenilworth street. The fire was confined to the wood bin in the cellar and was just breaking through to the first Iloor when firemen arrived. The damage was estimated at not more than S50. A tenant had just moved into the house Saturday and had left the house at 7.30 returning at 9.20 to dis­cover the house full of smoke. The fire de­partment was notified at 9.45.

A nation-wide program for p rese r­vation of health and prevention of ac­cidental death Is one of the great ser­vices of the Am erican Red Cross. Four bureaus, manned by experts, direct thiB work. They a re the Public Health N ursing Service; the F irs t Aid and Life Saving Service: the Home Hy­giene and Care of the Sick Service, and the N utrition Service.

These services aim a t preservation of health through skilled nursing care: prevention of loss of life In accidents: prevention of Illness, through cleanli­ness in the home and knowledge of m ethods of care of the sick; and rais­ing the standard of physical efficiency through proper eating.

This nation-wide campaign against disease and accidental death is con ducted through a m ajority of the 3,532 C hapters of the Rod Cross. It Is a comm unity cam paign, fitted to the health problem s or ench section.

Tho Red Cross, through Its Chap­ters, is the largest em ployer of tra ined Public Health nurses in rural work in the United S tates. In Its campaign for preservation of healtn nnd preven­tion of disease It has aided in estab­lishing 2,000 or more com m unity nurs­ing services.

In add! tlon, these nurses are available In tim e of d isaster or epidemic. This re­serve list of trained nurses has In 1928 reached Its peak In num ber enro lled— there being now 47,000 nurses quali­fied under Red Cross regulations who may be mobilized in tim e of em er­gency.

The com prehensive, nation-wide pro­gram of Instruction In F irst Aid nnd Life Saving m aintained by tho Red Cross Is tn answ er to the appalling to ta l of accidental deaths each year In the United S tates

In Its F irst Aid Instruction among firemen and police forces, ill factories, railroad centers, g reat industries, nnd public utilities, the Red Cross annual ly reaches more than 160,000 mou and women, whom It teuches to be u lert, ready In case of accident, to apply first aid treatm en t.

The campaign against accidental deaths through drowning lias been carried throughout the country, nnd there now art- 173,506 men and women, boys and girls, qualified as Red Cross life savers.

More than 500,000 certificates have boon Issued to girls and women, boys and men who have completed tho Red Cross Home Hygiene and Cure ot the Slrk course, which teuches sanita tion in the home, sufe care of the Infant and child and or the Invalid in the home.

In this busy day and generation when everybody is trying to make a record of some kind—when the papers arc full of “ speed tests", and “ new marks se t” it’s a good idea to give a thought to the snail and tortoise story- “ Slow and steady wins the race” was the lesson in old Aesop’s fable and there’s more truth than romance in that motto.

We are burning up too much energy now­adays and it is a difficult problem to get people to realize just what “ hustle bustle” and “ doggone" tiredness can do to the laxly. A noted authority on fatigue study has said “ exertion not only uses up temporarily the energy of the body but it also generates a sort of poison which slows one down for the time being.” As the amount of energy be­

Freda was five years old and very polite. It was the first time she had been on a visit alone.

“ If they ask you to dine with them when you arrive,” her father had said, “ you must reply: ‘No, thank you; I have already dined.' ” It turned out as her father had said.

“ Come along, Freda!” cried her little friend’s father. "You must have a bite with us."

“ No thanks," she replied with dignity, “ I have already bitten.’’—Chicago Daily News.

Do not put rubier heels in such a mixture. To waterproof thesoles of rubber-heeled shoes put the mixture in a pie plate and let the heels hang over theedge.

Prevention B ette r T h an Cure

A ' smoldering cigarette butt, a matchdropped into a waste-paper basket, an iron left heatin____eating on the board, a discarded pileof dirty, greasy rubbish, or endless other such petty risks caused by carelessness, may be the means of transforming a home or factory or office building into a smoking ruin.

A large majority of homes have fire hazards that can ix: removed with a small amount of work or a t slight cost. Poor wiring, care­lessly handled heating and electrical devices and collections of rubbish are among the most common risks and account for many serious conflagrations. The danger lies in these everyday risks being overlooked or dis­regarded.

Fire is practically entirely preventable. Authoritative estimates state that eighty per cent of all fires result from carelessness or ignorance. With a little caution and under­standing of possible hazards, homes and buildings can be protected. Preventing fire is better than trying to repair damage.

by F ro st Dates

Although killing frosts have occurred this fall in some localities a little earlierthan the average or expected dates, on the whole frost has appeared more or less ac­cording to schedule and consequently has interfered but little with the maturing ofimportant crops. Any crops that mature before the average date for killing frostfor a given region are reasonably safe from injury. The Weather Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture has frost records from about 600 points covering 20 years or more and from many others for a shorter length of time. The number of days available for plant growth can be told from these records. There is no place in the United States, except the islands of Key West, entirely free from killing frost.

The frost lines are very irregular, depend­ing to some extent on the contour and eleva­tion of a section. By the 1st of October killing frost has usually touched northern Wiscon­sin, the Dakotas, most of Nebraska, all but the southeast corner of Colorado, the north­west part of New Mexico, and practically all the States north of this line and east of the Sierra Nevada.

Chronic fatigue seldom is the direct cause of death, but it is very often the cause of frequent colds, grippe and what we call minor sicknesses, as well as ot more serious sicknesses. When the Ixxly is run down, the resistance to germs is weak. Chronic fatigue is probably one of the causes of tuberculosis. Certainly fatigue is one of the early danger signs of that disease.

When to Sell P otatoes The Extension Service of the Essex

County Agricultural School states that local farmers are asking for advice as to the future prices of [xitatoes anil whether to sell now or to hold for higher prices later.

Dr. Warren of Cornell made a study of this subject and found that during the past twenty-six years early selling paid best when tlie crops were large or when the per capita production of (xjtatoes was over 3.8 bushels.

I.ate selling paid best when there was a small total crop for the whole country averaging below 3.2 bushels per person.

The total production this year is alxiut 4.0 bushels per capita.

parts of Pennsylvania, and most of New England 'have been touched by killing frost before October. This year the first general killing frost came there about the average date for the northern Great Plains—between September 20 and 25—when freezing tern peratures occurred as far sautli as northern Nebraska. By the close of September kill ing frost had spread over the central Northern States, with light to heavy deposits as far south as Tennessee. This was considerably earlier than usual. A few exposed places had the earliest killing frost in 70 years, but there was no general damage.

Little harm was done to staple crops, especially corn, which was for the most part matured. Considerable corn was frosted in Iowa, though not more than the average in recent years. In this State the problem is to effect a satisfactory compromise between the length of growing season and the varieties of corn planted. In order to increase the yield per acre there has been a tendency to plant slow-maturing varieties, and these are consequently more liable to frost tlamage.
